Ejaculation is another word for semen or cum. And âSemenâ is the fluid that comes out of the penis during ejaculation which contains sperm. Itâs important to note that semen and sperm are not the same. In fact, only a very small percentage of âcumâ or âsemenâ is made up of sperm. The rest is mostly fluids produced by the prostate gland and other parts of the maleâs anatomy.
Most ejaculation is around one teaspoon but it varies person to person! The taste and smell varies person to person as well, depending on their diet, hygiene, and numerous other factors.
Itâs also important to know that ejaculation and orgasm are not the same thing but they are often linked. Ejaculation usually occurs after orgasm, but it is possible to orgasm without ejaculation. Men get erections from infancy on but they donât ejaculate until after puberty!
I was reading this amazing Sex Ed book I have while writing this because although I would love to be able to fully write this from experience, I donât have a penis so I needed a little brushing up on the discourse of one. I get a lot of questions from girls who get frustrated or blame themselves if the guy they are with canât cum. And then Iâve been with boyfriends who couldnât cum sometimes, and would be embarrassed or feel bad that they thought they were making me feel bad. That maybe I thought I wasnât hot enough to make them cum or some silly rationale.
Sometimes guys just donât ejaculate! No amount of cum is better than any other amount, and the levels of semen vary day to day, guy to guy. I think nerves have a lot to do with it, I can also do a post on erections because nerves come into that one a lot. And also, how much they have ejaculated. So letâs say you have sex a few times or youâve masturbated (as a guy) and ejaculated then have partnered sex activities later on and donât cum. Itâs 100% because youâve cum earlier in the day. Nothing is wrong with you. And if your partner canât cum, it has nothing to do with you!! Itâs their body, which is fine and natural. Never blame yourself or feel like a guy canât cum because youâre not hot or cute or good enough. Itâs bad enough that people donât speak about this topic, let alone hold shame and blame themselves!
Semen or cum tends to be white, milky, and a bit translucent. It can sometimes contain a bit of urine and be a little yellow, because urine and semen travel out of the same part of the body (urethra). Cumming or peeing should not be painful or cause any discomfort. If it does, then you should contact your doctor.
